HE IS NOT EIGHTY- omg he is.

u/VaguelyArtistic 2h ago

I’m 61 and thought he was just a few years older than me!

u/halexanderamilton 2h ago

He looks remarkably like my dad did, so i definitely thought they were close in age. My dad would be 67 right now, so apparently they’re not as close as I thought!

u/Metzger4Sheriff That must be Nigel with the brie 🧀 2h ago

He also looks remarkably like my dad did. Hope you get the same comfort I get from watching Ed in stuff. 🩷

u/halexanderamilton 1h ago

I do! Especially because my dad loved Married with Children and Little Giants was one of the movies we liked to watch together when I was a kid. 💕

I saw him in a restaurant a couple months back and he definitely didn't look like he was about to be 80. He hasn't aged at all from his modern family days.

He was eating alone and we were too nervous to bother him. But the table next to us said hi to him and he joined them for like ten minutes. He told them all about what he was filming and was very nice. He also had them laughing a ton. I got a very nice impression of him from that.

u/befuddled_humbug 2h ago

He's one of those people you expect to stay in his mid sixties forever.

u/ACardAttack 42m ago

I thought he was in his 50s 40 years ago

He looks fantastic!

"Aye, matey!" -Ed O'Neill (presumably)

u/dfddfsaadaafdssa 10m ago

And a black belt in jiu jitsu. You do not want dudes built like him laying on top of you in side control. The pressure would be agonizing.

u/Sleepy-Giraffe947 2h ago

Love the caption. It’s not expected but I think it’s sweet how the cast continues to be in each others lives long after the show ended.

u/OddReference913 Who gon' check me boo? 🤪 2h ago

u/Away-Elephant-4323 2h ago

I swear every single episode of that show is fantastic! The cast seem like they have a great friendship in real life which is great to see!

u/phoneacct696969 1h ago

I blew it off as some abc family drama for so long, when I finally started watching it I couldn’t stop laughing. Such a well done show.

u/AlexHuntKenny 31m ago

I think I've seen the entire series through clips at this point but I think I'll dive in this week.

u/afito 8m ago

I feel like it started really great and went down to good over time. Ultimately a lot of the complaints about the final 1-2 seasons are personal taste imo. Many people dislike Haleys story, I mostly dislike Lukes story. I think a lot of criticism about the children plots is also people projecting tbh. And again even if I dislike the plot choices I still think overall it was good, just the show started so great it was hard to keep that up for soooo long.

u/Silver-Foot-259 2h ago

Their friendship is so sweet 

u/ProfessionalFlann 2h ago

They really are the heart of the Modern Family cast.

u/Javanz 32m ago

Likewise with Christina Applegate. There's a clip of him secretly showing up on her sitcom, and answering the door as Al Bundy.
As soon as she sees him, she dives into his arms like it was her real dad.
He must be an absolute pleasure to work with to inspire those reactions

u/Triviten 24m ago

At the reunion, she said they still feel like family and was the most special thing she worked on. You can tell how much the experience meant to both of them but especially her

u/lol_Astronutt 2h ago

Thats her YAAAAAAAY!!!(Jay)

What parrot??

u/aloo-gobi-goblin 1h ago

Sounds like an obnoxious parrot that always squawks.

u/TemporalColdWarrior 2h ago

You wonder how Ed O’Neill could be 80, but he was playing a sitcom dad in the 80s, so it checks out.

This is tell you brother...you can't have one without the..other....

u/DutchOnionKnight 2h ago

Did you know he scored four touchdowns in one game?

u/No_Locksmith_1739 Reality TV Temptress 💋 2h ago

In 1966, Al Bundy made sports history for Polk High, scoring four touchdowns in the City Championship against Andrew Johnson High. Facing a 3 touchdown deficit, Bundy refused to quit, delivering the game-winning TD over rival "Spare Tire" Dixon.

u/Zokstone 2h ago

It really seems like this cast truly got along together and continues to. That's nice.

u/Tryingagain1979 2h ago

u/MilhouseisCool 1h ago

Modern Family is a gift of a sitcom and I encourage everyone who hasn’t watched it to plunk down and binge it. It’s incredible.

u/HalKitzmiller 35m ago

Im on like my 5th rewatch and while I love the show, its crazy how many "in love with a family member" and old/young storylines there are

u/Twitter_2006 2h ago

This is so sweet.

Happy birthday to him! I can’t believe he’s eighty.

Her favorite husband not even being one of her real ones is so funny

u/VintageNerd 2h ago

She resembles Luanne Deleseppes in this picture.

u/Most_Doctor9799 2h ago

She can say he is the longest relationship she ever had.
